About The Book : Mohammadan Dynasties have grown naturally out of the author twenty years work upon the Arabic coins in the British Museum. The Author has collected the tables and genoalogical trees in the present Volume. The plan one have followed is to arrange the Dynasties in geographical order beginning with Spain which first threw off the control of the caliphs of Baghdad from the extreme west of the kingdoms of Islam, gradually work eastwards, till the end is reach in India and Afghanistan. Each Dynasty has its historical introduction a chronological list of the princes and a geographical trace. Vertically the tables are divided under the headings of the chief divisions of the Mohammadan Empire. Horizontally the tables are divided, though the lines are not ruled though, into centuries.
